Sunmbo+David: The Sheraton Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos

4 comments

I have been trying to blog this for a while and finally, here we are about two years after we shot this wedding.

Sunmbo is a beautiful soul and I was honoured when she called me up to say she wanted me to shoot her wedding. Excitedly, we made plans for her pre wedding session which will be posted here later and couldn’t wait for her wedding day to come.

When I met David, I was impressed due his quiet outlook and calmness. I could understand his personality being a pastor.

I walked into Sheraton Hotels, Ikeja Lagos that early morning eager to shoot and that is one thing I love about weddings of a couple I love…..the eagerness to shoot.

The Ring is the symbol of love and commitment. A never ending circle that indicates what love in a marriage is. I loved these rings and this was one of my favourite photographs of the day.

Such an important symbol should be kept safe. Saydat did this make up and this lady is good. You should call her up. We had fun as the bride got ready but this lady was so joyful watching the whole event play out. Beautiful right? Sunmbo was awesome on her day. Meanwhile downstairs, David was getting ready for the event….surrounded by his friends. And it was with a sense of camaraderie that they all walked into the venue ready to execute the agenda of the day…..With drums sounding and Alaga collecting monies as obstacles, this group were not ready to be deterred. They cleared these and moved on.Flat on the floor they threw themselves to beg for their bride’s hand in marriage and asked for the blessings of the parents. Meanwhile, Sunmbo was ready and taken her photo session and I was wowed. She is a photographers delight.

That done, we came down to a carefully laid out hall. And as her mum saw her daughter about to leave for her husband’s house, she broke down and the tears flowedEagerly her in laws unveiled her to accept her into their family It was time to be shown to her husband and to choose him as hers. This lady was all smilesAnd the cool David was ever cooler.She was eventually handed over to her new family by her old family and the event was done. We proceeded to do these beautiful pictures of this couple and we loved what we got. This ever faithful friends were on hand for more pictures as well.and our bride was not to be outdone……She was lively through out the session
